Fried egg sandwiches, ewwww. That's a Brit thing. ;) I would never eat such odd things. I concentrate on everyday American foods like bangers and mash, a ploughmans sandwich, and of course that Southwestern delicacy, Blood Pudding.

Speaking a tad more seriously, Dec/Stac (ooh the deck is stacked, ba dum bump), do you have a recipe for the chicken and dumplings you care to share? The recipes I've found are all so-so. (Court's is pretty good as I remember, but I've lost it. Court, if you want to give me your recipe, too....)

In other news, this is cool. I didn't expect anyone to do this silly thing. Thanks, N and Llama. I had forgotten some of these things about each of you.

Mmm. Shwarma. Mmmm Italian ice on the Isle St. Louis. (I've actually had it with you once, N, if you remember. Been a few years though.)
